Halo people,
i receive the x,y,z positions of the body joints from Microsoft kinect device. my problem is how to use them to control a ragdoll? it would be nice if someone coul give me a hind how to proceed to control in realtime a model according to my movements. all my trials till now failed. so i need a bit help
thanks in advance to all who tries

using the bones position you can calculate the bone angles and then use ent_bonerotate

Halo together,
somehow i stucked with this kinect thing. I just get weird bone rotations while data input from the device. here is the code i use to rotate the shoulder

vec_for_bone(bone_pos, my, "SHOULDER_LEFT");// SHOULDER_LEFT =models left shoulder//
vec_set(local_target_pos,lshoulder);// lshoulder= 3d position X,Y,Z (not rotation!!) of actors left shoulder given from kinect//

vec_to_ent(local_target_pos, my);
vec_to_angle(bone_angle, local_target_pos);
bone_angle.roll = 0;
ent_bonerotate(my, "SHOULDER_LEFT", bone_angle);

What is wrong?? i hope someone can help me to solve this problem
thanks in advance to every one

it's difficult to see what the problem is other than 'weird', try resetting the bone position before recalculating it?
ent_bonereset();

From what I understand, you want to moves the bones to a xyz position, is that right?

A while ago some implemented ragdolls into gamestudio,
and in his script he's written a function that moves a bone to a position:

a few posts down there is a download link for the A8 version Post

I hope this helps!

hi dier friend
